question 129

Short Answer

SCENARIO 12-13
In this era of tough economic conditions, voters increasingly ask the question: "Is the educational achievement level of students dependent on the amount of money the state in which they reside spends on education?" The partial computer output below is the result of using spending per student ($) as the independent variable and composite score which is the sum of the math, science and reading scores as the dependent variable on 35 states that participated in a study.The table includes only partial results. $$\begin{array}{l}\begin{array} { l c } \hline { \text { Regression Statistics } } \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.3122 \\\text { R Square } & 0.0975 \\\text { Adjusted R } & 0.0701 \\\text { Square } & \\\text { Standard } & 26.9122 \\\text { Error } & \\\text { Observations } & 35 \\\hline\end{array}\\\end{array}$$
ANOVA
$\begin{array}{lccc}& d f & S S & M S & F \\\text { Regression } & 1 & 2581.5759 & \\\text { Residual } & & & 724.2674 \\\text { Total } & 34 & 26482.4000 &\end{array}$
$$\begin{array}{l}\begin{array} { l c c c c } \hline & \text { Coefficients } & \text { Standard Error } & t \text { Stat } & P \text {-value } \\\hline \text { Intercept } & 595.540251 & 22.115176 & & \\\text { Spending per } & & & & \\\text { Student(\$) } & 0.007996 & 0.004235 & \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$
-Referring to Scenario 12-13, the p-value of the measured t-test statistic to test whether composite score depends linearly on spending per student is .
